Nanjing Tulou, Fujian Province

I have to admit. Although I really want to go to see the terracotta soldiers at Xi'An so bad, China is not my obvious choice when it comes to traveling.

It can be said that 2017 was the "Doha" year for me. Thanks to my job, I was lucky enough to join two trips with Qatar Airways, and both trips we had a stopover in Doha, the Qatari capital, and I was so amazed by how they did it. In the middle of nowhere in … Continue reading Destination Doha

Dear Shanghai, aren't you too gloomy?

What are your travel souvenirs? Apart from postcards and postal stamps, I find myself buying a bracelet almost every time I travel. It's my favorite accessory since I was young (always got caught when playing hide and seek because of its jingling sounds) until today. For this last Europe trip, I got myself a bangle from Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. I feel sad for Van Gogh. He was not known until he's dead, and despite his colorful works, he had a quite miserable life. Suffering from mental illness, he painted and painted, hoping that the colors and nature could help him get better. In his final months, he painted so much that he could finish like one painting a day. Still, I admire his courage and hope. At least, he hoped that someday he would get better, and he never gave up. Although at the end of the day the illness won him over, but for me he already won too. "Go out and paint the stars" - Vincent Van Gogh

Life is good in sunny Amsterdam ☀️
